I have a 7 yo GSD who can sleep in until 12pm. Rarely do but was very grateful for this when I had Covid last month.

DW he got rewarded for his easy going- ness with 15 mins walk x2 I wasn’t certain I would survive.

Another Labrador. So is pacing by 7am and again at 4pm. You could set your watch by her.

But she's in the kitchen/utility so can be left until 8.30ish without any problem. I feel guilty leaving her longer to be honest.

I have a whippet, so our day is basically this..

7am - breakfast and poop

7.10am-12pm sleep

12pm-12.30pm zoomies round the field

12.30pm lunch

12.40pm-5pm sleep

5pm dinner

5.10pm- 6 playtime

6pm-7am sleep 🥰🤣

Whippets love their sleep!!

At 7am, day in day out, I have 3 furry, expectant faces appear by the side of the bed. THEY MUST BE FED! But happy to go back to bed until whenever.

7pm is a similar vibe, but I’m generally not in bed so it’s more the moping round, “someone call the RSPCA” sad eyes and sighing if 7.01 has arrived and the bowls are still empty.

My Parson Russell terrier will sleep as long as I'm still in bed. I usually have to force him out for the toilet first thing when I get up for work and before the back door is even closed he's back in my bed snuggled under the duvet. He comes to work and I normally have to force him out of bed when it's time to go he gets into the car and sleeps until we get to the park for a walk.

On weekends and days off he will get up for the toilet and again be back in bed before the door is closed and I don't see him again until 12ish. When I was ill and in bed all day he snuggled with me quite happily.

He can stay in bed for 12 hours without a toilet break. It's only very occasionally he'll get up when I do and want out. Or when DH gets up and then refuses to go for him but will wake me up to take him out.

He's 5 and full of energy the rest of the time but he is NOT a morning dog. When people meet him they go on about how high energy he is and how he never stops. They never believe his sleeping habits!

BruFord · 08/02/2024 22:38

7/7:30 for our Pom (10). If I try to lie in at the weekend, he goes up on his hind legs by the bed and speaks to me. 😂

mondaytosunday · 08/02/2024 22:39

I have two, one 12, one 14. Last time out about midnight. Then the 14 year old could probably last til 10 or so, and the younger til about 9/9.30. But I'm usually downstairs at 8 as I have hungry cats (they are locked downstairs overnight as otherwise they'd think 5am was a good breakfast time) and dogs go out back then and walked a bit later.
Oddly I've found they can hold their wee but if they need a poo then they need a poo!

AntiDevil · 08/02/2024 22:42

Gets on my bed anywhere between 5-7am, on a weekday I have to force him downstairs for a wee at 7.15 then he sprints back upstairs to bed until about 10 when he's summoned for a walk. On a weekend he will happily stay in bed all morning, I make him come down for a wee about 11.30 if he hasn't already been up (we just do one long afternoon walk at the weekend).

daffodilandtulip · 08/02/2024 22:52

In the day, she cannot bear to be parted from me. Sometimes she cries if I'm just not looking at her. She likes to hold hands at the very least, all of the time.

However, when I get up at 6/7am, she looks at me like I'm mad and snuggles under the blanket until 10am easily.

itsallabitofamystery · 08/02/2024 22:53

It depends who makes a noise first, or goes to the toilet. If it's me, 2 x Lhasa's don't make a sound and are still curled up in their beds. If DP coughs, rolls over, goes to toilet, it can be as early as 4am. They make "sneezing" noises to let you know they're awake too. We put this down to DP getting up early for work during the week, so he takes them out off lead in the early hours (4/5am) when no one is around. Whereas I get up and let them out back for a wee, not walking them until my lunch break. So if they hear him stirring on a weekend, they think it's off-lead walkies time.

lifeispainauchocolat · 08/02/2024 17:25

Around 10am - but that's only because he needs a wee. He'll happily go back to bed after that and sleep another few hours. He's six.

Think we must own the same dog 🐶

Poshjock · 08/02/2024 23:04

3pm 😶
he sleeps on bedroom floor. Takes himself to bed at 9pm. Wanders back down about 11pm to see if DH will do a bedtime ramble around the field. Comes to bed with DH. Jumps up on warm patch when I vacate at 7am. Lies there until DH gets up anywhere between 11 and 1pm. When DH health is poor he will stay indefinitely beside his favourite person in bed.

SausageTolls · 08/02/2024 23:07

Mine once slept in until 1pm!

They get dragged out 7.30-8am, but would easily sleep until 10, (terriers, nothing good to chase until after breakfast).

My parson JRT is so similar. She is not a morning dog and loves my bed too much!

CatSighs · 08/02/2024 23:10

Our Cavvie cross sleeps on DD's bed, and will stay there until DD gets up. She takes herself back to DD's bed for an afternoon snooze sometimes, too.

DontBeAPrickDarren · 08/02/2024 23:13

Staffy, age 6ish. Usually wants to go out by 9 but her best day is being able to eat breakfast and get straight back into bed with someone.

Copperoliverbear · 08/02/2024 23:13

10 if nobody else is up but we usually get up around 8 x

stardust40 · 08/02/2024 23:14

2.5yr old Labrador cross .... sleeps in dd room and doesn't do mornings🤣 if we are going out and want her to go out for a wee before 11 she is like a moody teenager plodding downstairs..... goes out and straight back to bed in dds room!

fitflopqueen · 08/02/2024 23:16

Springer here, last wee between 10-midnight, will sleep in until I get up, will go til 10 if all quiet.
Loves, loves loves walks and doing jobs outside but if any of our adult offspring are home and fancy an early walk with her they have to carry her outside as she will remain corpse like if she doesn’t fancy it. Fine once she is up.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 08/02/2024 15:17

I have a dachshund and if I stayed in bed all day then she'd stay in bed all day.

My friend has one
She starts whinging and herding you to bed at 10pm, if you don't go then she glares at you and stomps off to bed
Refuses to get up at all in the morning if it's raining and will cross her legs rather than go outside Grin

Pussygaloregalapagos · 08/02/2024 23:19

Mine are fine until about 11am then they get a bit twitchy if not been out. I usually walk them for an hour or so between 11 and 4 then that’s usually them for the night, they don’t go out again.

the female can literally go data without a pee. She will NOT go out in the rain, and does not mess the house. Longest we recorded her not going out to the loo was 3 days in a hurricane. Unbelievable, like a camel.

I feed them at random times too so they don’t really know when good time is.

havibg said all that if someone walks near the house any time of day or night they are up and bark like they are Donna rip your head off.

adopted street dogs. Lovely and annoying in equal measures.

TwylaSands · 08/02/2024 23:19

My shihtzu will sleep until about 8 even 9 on a weekend if nobody is up. Usually he gets up with dh at 6.30 has breakfast and a piddle then back to bed. The times ive had covid, or injured and bed bound, he will spend the entire day napping next to me.

FasterthanaButteredOtter · 08/02/2024 23:52

Happily gets up with us whenever 7-8am during the week for a pee and quick walk but will head for the sofa for a long snooze after. Has last pee stop outside usually around 11pm.

At weekend, will last until 10am then gets a bit restless. Although DH is usually up before then anyway so it's rare they have to wait that long. Will sometimes jump into the warm spot vacated by DH after their morning pee!

Lovetosleep1 · 12/02/2024 13:07

My 11 month old German Shepherd sleeps in her crate downstairs. I'm up at 5am in the week and she happily gets up with me and goes for a walk. On a weekend/ school holidays she sleeps until 8.30am on the dot and then gives a single bark to tell me it's time to get up. I'm grateful for the lie in and was worried she'd get used to being up at 5am and then expect it but she has no problem switching between different wake up times.
I feed her at different times so I think that helps as she isn't waking up expecting breakfast.
